Corsa Merit 1.2 8V

[amandhanji]

Well I forgot to take a picture from start but this is how it is so far. after two months of simple mods. I've fitted 15" cesaro alloys with 195/45/R15 tyres. Xenon lights, brand new front and back bumper and new arches. jamex coilovers. and a sportex catback system. also installed the MFD and glovebox.

Her it is at the moment:






















will put more pictures up soon.

I'm not going to put an induction kit just a panel filter, as I don't see the point as it may blow the head gasket and it may reduce performance and increase fuel consumption. I may drill the airbox.

Plans ahead:
1. Full Service
2. repair the window regulator.
3. heater controls
4. rear wiper
5. spoiler
6. depo lights
7. sound system
8. new interior
9. new badges
10. full paint job


Not looking to sell and not really bothered bout performance with speed cameras and traffic cops

Thats why im spending on this car.

the rear of your car does look very nice i like it and the wheels look LOADS better now with the lower profile tyres and with it being slammed, the rear window wiper why dont you just remove it and get a bung from halfords for like £1 it tidies the rear up so much, but yea keep going mate it looks cool

[amandhanji]

Thank you very much sir. I May do it but when I was fitting my MFD, i snapped all my heater knobs and they don't go in properly. the demisser one slides in and out and I cannot get the demisser to work now. Annoying, but will have someone at vauxhall take a look at it. £1 is a bargain lol and your car is proper nice aswell.

[PRICER]

[amandhanji]

nice motor m8
done a rele good job so far,
shame its different colours, cuz its still red not pink like most

[amandhanji]

lol Thank you sir, but your last comment I don't know whether to take it as a compliment or not???lol I'm Baffled. btw your car is ballin.

[nath2905]

lol, i mean ur car has been looked after to stop it fading like the rest
it just looks like its had a few panels painted the wrong colour,
its not that i'm saying it looks crap, its just because i saw u saying you were goin have repaint

[amandhanji]

ohh okk, Thank you. its just the previous owner sprayed laquer I assume to close and its left white streak marks all over. when the sun hits it it makes it worse. but I'm going to get it sorted by a car valet.

[amandhanji]

Just Fitted my new Fiat Marea Rear Wiper. Fits perfectly its just the motor or holder is out of place and wobbling all over lol. Also 2 random pics from the front.

[scoops]

any particular reason why you think an induction kit will blow the head gasket?

[amandhanji]

I've done research about it. Also I don't want to lose out on MPG and performance. i kept up with a bmw 318 Ci 2day. wicked and its hard to believe. I didnt win i just kept up. this is without an induction kit. im going for a panel filter.

[jordyp]

looks nice mate, how much was the coilovers? what tyres have you got on yours? what plans you got for it?

[amandhanji]

the tyres are 195/45/15. coils were 180 and plans are to get the paint restored by a car valet, servicing, sound system and interior. not too much. but could you give me some ideas, as you have the sme car apart from engine change.

[PRICER]

one thing iv noticed, might be good to invest in some locking wheel nuts if your not going to run centre caps just incase.
